"It's a key, even if the Grand Tour continues, it's a key to say goodbye to the studio element, that's for sure," he told the tabloid. "The truth is, I think, that I've never had a chance to say goodbye to Top Gear." One minute I was there and one minute I did not do it. [I] do the show and then never do another ".
"[I] Never said goodbye. Never had a gold watch. Never had a retirement speech. Nothing. So it was almost as if we were saying goodbye to Top Gear as well. That's why it was so moving for me. "
